Author Anthony Quinn will be joined by interviewer Thomas Grant KC at Middle Temple Library to give a talk on his most recent book: The Mouthless Dead, inspired by the infamous Wallace murder case tried at the Liverpool Assizes in 1931, described by Raymond Chandler as an 'unbeatable' mystery.
Attendees will be able to buy a copy of the book on the night, and get it signed by the author.
